I returned to the Wales homelands to write about the end of 100 years of Labour dominance, and the rise of Reform. Had some lovely drives along the Heads of the Valleys.

@SangitaMyska @MayorofLondon Is it a post covid thing? Everyone being cooped up and forgetting their outside manners?

And so the world is once again paying attention to the internecine carousel of British politics. Wrote a piece from this sunny, chilly perch: https://t.co/C3paulD5oi

Happy Angine de Poitrine day for all those who observe.

And here's a postcard sidebar in which I was allowed to reflect a little on memories of growing up in Wales and what it feels like to return to such a changed place. Somehow managed to avoid using the word 'hiraeth'

@DanNeidle Even in supposed boom area Waltham Forest prices aren't keeping up. This place would have to have sold for about 860k to track with CPI

@GerardAraud Dear Amb Araud - I'm writing for NBC about Europe and what it needs to do on Ukraine. Would love to hear your thoughts, if you had a moment to chat? If you follow me back I should be able to DM.

@shivmalik I haven't listened to the podcast but hope it covers the barnett formula, hs2 funding injustice, rail electrification nonsense, or hell even centuries of vampiric mineral extraction

@Labourstone re your Oxford St retweet - when can we expect the same for the high octane death zone that is leytonstone high st? reminded of the bliss last year (was it?) when it was shut for utilities works...

@ZAYN_Z7 Is that the guy who’s not cutting his hair until United win five on the spin in the front row?

@HemmenKees Call me mad but are we starting to actually do some sporting esque cutbacks

At the anti-AfD protest outside the party's venue in north Berlin, demonstrators just fired up a 1960s-era 110db "catastrophe siren." Built for warning of nuke attack, the siren was sounded as a "warning about the outcome of fascism in Germany," organizer Stefan Pelzer tells me

@markstatsbot Looks like a good game of rondo around hojlund 👍🏻

@Ankaman616 Would be interested to see a more topdown angle of the offside. In the freeze frame there’s a player, I think Okoli, hidden behind Zirkzee. Probably still offside but much closer than it seems.

Upturned cars ablaze in E11 this morning, women clutching babies run screaming through the street, a payphone receiver swings dial tone blaring...
